Chapter 527: Optical Illusion

Translator: _Min_ Editor: Caron_

There were many tasks to do during times of peace – not only did they need to research where to fight but they also needed to figure out how to develop conquered territories.

The Project Garden of Eden was 50% complete; although the soil reformation plan was delayed by the snow, the main construction was still in process. Lin Lin seemed to have forgotten her sorrow and dedicated herself completely to the Garden of Eden.

Sun Jiao had been addicted to MMORPGs and unfortunately, she couldn’t play only by herself, so Sun Jiao occasionally played with her as well. Even Han Junhua got dragged into the game with the excuse “testing software” during her downtime. She could no longer be satisfied by the magical journey of Godly Land – she tried the newly-developed shooting game to satisfy her need for variety.

Yao Yao continued to refine her computer knowledge. During her engagement with the Supreme, she learned the extent of her weakness in the IT field. Although Jiang Chen thought finding weaknesses in IT against artificial intelligence was unreasonable, he took one look at Yao Yao’s keen eyes and couldn’t say anything to dampen her motivation.

“If you have time, help me research about intermediate artificial intelligence,” Jiang Chen said.

“Intermedia artificial intelligence?” Yao Yao tilted her head with a finger pressed against her lips. “But aren’t they the enemy of Big Brother?”

Jiang Chen rubbed her head.

“My enemy isn’t artificial intelligence but rather artificial intelligence without restrictions. If you could invent a type of artificial intelligence that was safe and never betrayed humans, Yao Yao would’ve performed a great deed then.”

Although it was difficult, Yao Yao still nodded sternly.

“Mhmm! Yao Yao will work hard.”

Jiang Chen kissed her glowing forehead and rubbed her now-blushing little head before he left the room.

Just before Jiang Chen returned to the modern world, good news came from Fallout Shelter 027 again. The optical illusion module and Gauss Rifle confiscated by the Dusk had been successfully reverse-engineered. Twenty carbon Nano armors installed with the optical illusion module were transported to Fishbone Base. Ten were assigned to the Hunter Division by Jiang Chen, and he planned to take the rest to the modern world to equip his Ghost Agents.

The equipment name was Stealth Armor!

The carbon Nano armor’s appearance looked like a black, full-body suit formed by mesh octagon shapes. The materials used were both sturdy and soft, and the critically-important optical illusion function could make the user become an actual ghost.

Other than that, Fallout Shelter 027 used 3D printing to create a prototype of the Gauss Rifle as well as one hundred rounds of electromagnetic pulse bullets designed for the rifle. The rifle had high penetrative power with relatively weak recoil, but a downside was that the cost of ammunition was much higher than normal rifle bullets.

The technical difficulties of the Gauss rifle were mostly related to the electromagnetic rail material and high energy capacitors. Fallout Shelter 027 had absorbed the technology in the area and now the Institute of Firearms had the capability to design similar electromagnetic weapons independently.

Such as the Gauss Sniper Rifle.

When Jiang Chen returned to the modern world, he managed to find Ayesha in the kitchen and handed her a carbon Nano armor that fit her body well.

Ayesha looked at the pitch-black full-body suit and weighed the soft material before a puzzled expression appeared on her face.

“Are you sure this… black thing can really be stealthy?”

“Not only that! It’s also bulletproof. Don’t just judge it based on the appearance.”

Ayesha nodded, unbuttoned her shirt, and began to strip.

“Wait, are you planning to change into it now?” Jiang Chen quickly stopped her and felt exasperated.

It was weird to change in the kitchen.

“Do I not need to try it?” With her fingers on her collar buttons, Ayesha turned around.

“Mhmm… Okay, let’s try it on then.”

[Fu*k, I’ve seen her so many times – why am I feeling so shy?]

Jiang Chen mocked himself and raised his hand to cough to disguise his awkwardness while he began to appreciate the scene before him.

With the slightly shy look on Jiang Chen’s face, Ayesha’s mouth curved into a pleased smile. At the same time, her delicate fingers undid the buttons in front of her chest…

Ayesha’s actions were quick – it took less than half a minute before she zipped up her collar and put on the entire pitch-black suit. The soft carbon Nano material fitted her body perfectly and drew out her blossoming curves.

She moved around with a confused expression gradually surfacing on her face.

She hesitated for a second, grabbed a sharp knife from the kitchen counter, and swung at her own left arm.

Not even a cut!

Her confusion changed into shock.

“Although carbon Nano has the ability to protect against bullets and blades, it’s best not to use it as a kinetic skeleton. Since defense isn’t its strong suit, multiple bullets could result in the carbon structure being destroyed which would weaken its bulletproof functionality. This thing is hard to repair if damaged,” Jiang Chen warned her.

The more advanced the technology, the more sophisticated it was. If the armor took excessive damage, the optical illusion could malfunction.

Ayesha nodded, put the knife back onto the counter, spun around, and examined her clothes.

“… Does it look good?”

“Of course it looks good. Uh, is that what you care about?” Jiang Chen facepalmed.

“No… I just think it’s a bit embarrassing to go outside wearing this,” Ayesha said shyly.

“Try the button around the collar.” Jiang Chen smiled.

Ayesha raised her hand to reach for her collar. As she searched along the edge, she found a grain-sized button.

She hesitantly pressed the button before she shockingly discovered it made blue electric arcs jump and her body began to fade until she completely became transparent.

She raised both her hands as she looked at her “invisible” hands in astonishment.

“What… what’s going on?”

Jiang Chen was impressed by the fact Ayesha actually “disappeared.” He nodded in amazement.

“Mhmm! Not bad. This is my first time seeing the stealth functionality; looks like this thing really lived up to its name. The battery insert is on the left arm – you should be able to feel a concave button. While the optical illusion is activated, your heat source information will also be disguised. But you have to be careful when you use it. If it’s hit by a bullet directly, it could cause the optical illusion to temporarily malfunction.

Although it was a stealth suit, it wasn’t completely transparent. When Ayesha swung her arms or moved with large motions, the curves of her body would appear faintly. But when standing still or walking slowly, she couldn’t be detected at all with the naked eye.

“But in this state, how do you use a weapon?” Ayesha pressed the button around her collar again and ended stealth mode. She looked at her hands.

Jiang Chen then took out a rifle cover from the storage dimension, passed it to Ayesha and smiled.

“You don’t have to worry about the weapon since if there’s equipment that allows people to be stealthy, naturally there will be equipment designed specifically for weapons. The rifle cover can connect to the back of the carbon Nano armor. When the optical illusion is active, the weapon, clip and dagger connected to the rifle cover will also turn invisible. Of course, you must be wary when shooting and changing the clip. The parts that leave the rifle cover and the sparks at the muzzle can expose your location.”

Because of this, while in the optical illusion state, it was best to use weapons that didn’t create sparks when firing like the Gauss Rifle.

Ayesha attached the rifle cover to her body and took the Ghost Sniper Rifle and Type-11 Pistol from Jiang Chen. She connected the weapons to the rifle cover and started the optical illusion again. The weapon and her body disappeared simultaneously.

“This is… This is too magical.” Ayesha ended the optical illusion state and returned the weapons to Jiang Chen as she exclaimed.

“What do you think? Are you pleased with the new clothes now?”

Ayesha nodded with her face blushing.

“Mhmm.”

With this equipment, the combat ability of the Ghost Agents would increase substantially, and she could better protect Jiang Chen.
